Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names – With Examples

12/22/2018

This blog post highlights common misconceptions that programmers have about names and provides examples to challenge these assumptions. It discusses various false beliefs such as assuming that names are unique, that they follow a specific pattern, or that they can be represented with a fixed length. Through real-world examples and scenarios, the post demonstrates how these assumptions can lead to faulty programming logic and cause issues when dealing with names in software development. The aim of the blog post is to encourage programmers to critically assess their assumptions about names and to provide more robust and flexible solutions when working with name data.
